Purplespace

Luminous beings are we.

About Me

Many years in the future, a time traveler from another galaxy will take a vacation to present-day Earth. During her stay, she will covertly record her observations about a primitive lifeform known as humans. While the customary technique of relaxation for travelers is simple research, she felt compelled to leave behind a musical copy of her notes for Earthlings to discover.

Five humans were chosen as hosts for the traveler's luminous body. Their memories were absorbed into hers. Their bodies were used as tools. Only then was she able to translate her findings in a way that humans would easily understand. A CD was born.

For those of you that prefer REALITY, Purplespace is a side project of the band Starring Me (with some help from their close friends). They have been writing, recording, and performing music in Jacksonville, Florida for about 10 years.

Last Summer, Purplespace crafted 12 original songs. That project started out as a fun musical outlet and snowballed into this beautiful CD. It's something that we are all proud of, and we'd like to share it with YOU.

The self-released Purplespace CD Broken Bells is now available. Click the BuyNow button above to purchase your copy. Thanks for looking & listening. If you like what you hear, spread the word and tell your friends to check us out. :)

Purplespace is now recording their follow-up album. It's scheduled to be released in late 2007 or early 2008. Stay Tuned!!! :D

We're currently looking for label support. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
